Agenda

• What is Quantitative Aptitude
• Relevance of Quant in MBA/CAT Overview of the
  Test Patterns
• Approx number of Quant Qs (Topic wise) in MBA
  entrance exams
• Class Structure (Quant)
• Relevance of Speed Maths Quantitative Aptitude
• Sample Questions from Past Years
• Practice Questions

4
CAT-2020 Pattern

• Three sections with sectional time limits (in the
  following order)
• Verbal Ability Reading Comprehension 26 Qs (40
  mins)
• Data Interpretation Logical Reasoning 24 Qs
  (40 mins)
• Quantitative Ability 26 Qs (40 mins)
• Total duration of whole test - Two hours
• Total duration of QA section - 40 minutes
• Marking Scheme MCQs - ( 3, -1 ) and Non-MCQs or
  TITA - ( 3, 0 )

Key pointers to crack Quantitative Aptitude
section

• Quantitative Aptitude basics
• Numbers All that we have covered till 8th
  standard.
• Arithmetic All that we have learnt till 8th
  standard.
• Geometry All that we have learnt till 10th
  standard.
• Algebra All that we have learnt till 10th
  standard.
• Modern Math (Permutation combination,
  Probability, Set theory and Trigonometry etc.)
  All that we have learnt till class 10th standard.
• Note Derivation and proofs of formulae are not
  of much use in solving the questions but these
  help in building the concepts.

Key pointers to crack Quantitative Aptitude
section

• Speed Matters - Practice speed maths
• Regular practice, hard work and consistency will
  pay off.
• Quant section is not a test of ones
  intelligence.
• Understanding the statement and interpretation
  correctly is the most critical part.
• Visualization of a question can help a lot in
  solving the question.
• No prior knowledge is required to crack many of
  the questions.
• With a net score of 50 marks, you can be in the
  top 1 of CAT population !!

10
Key pointers to crack Quantitative Aptitude
section

• Alternative Methods
• Some of the questions can be cracked
• Logically
• By simply eliminating the other options
• By plugging the specific value

11
SPEED MATHS - PREREQUISITES

• Tables upto 20
• Squares numbers upto 25
• Cubes till 12
• Fractions to percentage ½ to 1/12
• 5) Fractions to percentage Multiples of ½ to
  1/12
• 100s complement of numbers upto 100
• Powers of 2, 3, 4, 5.

12
SAMPLE CONCEPTS SPEED MATHS
13
IS QUANT EASY OR DIFFICULT ?! CAN THE QUESTIONS
BE TACKLED LOGICALLY ? LETS EXPLORE !!!

1. Karan and Arjun run a 100-meter race, where
Karan beats Arjun 10 metres. To do a favour to
Arjun, Karan starts 10 metres behind the starting
line in a second 100 metre race. They both run at
their earlier speeds. Which of the following is
true in connection with the second
race? CAT 2004 A. Karan and Arjun reach
the finishing line simultaneously. B. Arjun
beats Karan by 1 metre C. Arjun beats Karan by
11 metres D. Karan beats Arjun by 1 metre

2. Each of Saral, Pranav and Jatin has a certain
number of marbles in the beginning. They play a
game in which every person has to double the
number of marbles with every other person. In the
first round, Saral doubles the number of marbles
with each of Pranav and Jatin. In the second
round, Pranav doubles the number of marbles with
each of Saral and Jatin. Finally, in the third
round, Jatin doubles the number of marbles with
each of Saral and Pranav. At the end of the third
round, each has 1200 marbles. Find the number of
marbles with each of them in the beginning.
16
Approach Start with the end
Solution 2 Each of Saral, Pranav and Jatin has a
certain number of marbles in the beginning. They
play a game in which every person has to double
the number of marbles with every other person. In
the first round, Saral doubles the number of
marbles with each of Pranav and Jatin. In the
second round, Pranav doubles the number of
marbles with each of Saral and Jatin. Finally, in
the third round, Jatin doubles the number of
marbles with each of Saral and Pranav. At the end
of the third round, each has 1200 marbles. Find
the number of marbles with each of them in the
beginning.
Round Number of marbles with Saral Number of marbles with Pranav Number of marbles with Jatin
End of Round 3 (After Jatin doubles) 1200 1200 1200
Before Jatin doubles
Before Pranav doubles
Before Saral doubles (Beginning)
